Transition Technology: Ticket #288: URL aliases need re-creating

it's here: http://www.transitionnetwork.org/blogs/ed-mitchell/2010-08/adding-your-partner-event-site

best bet is just to search for the title. Once found you have two choices: a) set the url alias back to what it was, or (better i reckon) b) update the broken ref to the now 'standard' url.

In this case I chose b) and updated the block on the right in your blog - ok? If not then by all means edit it back (sorry!)

Remember: NO content has been lost. ALL content has been re-aliased, except for 90% of user profiles.

Now CR is back on i'll try this re-alias of any last bits after 11pm tonight. Worst it can do is hang again in which case i'll have to think of something else.

status changed; resolution set

status changed from new to closed
resolution set to worksforme

I tried again to run the url path update but it hung MySQL as before.

However it looks like the url aliases are all in for people profiles... I reckon, since I manually re-aliased the user accounts last, I didn't realise the user profiles must have got updated simultaneously.

Erm... good!

Anyway re-open if non-aliased nodes come up...

Have used Views Bulk Operations to fix the URL aliases - works a dream, very handy module... Didn't even push the server close to hanging.

Already closed, but now SUPER-CLOSED!

rivetted shut like one of houdini's boilers (from which he escaped)... turns out the rivets weren't real... lesson in there somewhere...
